The main courses did look OK on the plate however we thought the menu was limited and it would have been nice to preview the menu before booking. The desserts were just average and at £8 each the portions were small and didn’t feel special....Wine menu is changing so review what you order against the bottle that arrives.More

We visited The Crabtree for my Mums 90th Birthday. There was just under 30 of us and we were looked after perfectly. Helen had set up a room for us in a horseshoe arrangement which meant we were all able to see and chat to...each other. The food was well cooked and of an extremely high quality and it was served in a very professional and friendly manor. We received regular check ups on how everything was and whether we required drinks etc. From the very first communication about the availability of table space to the settling of the bill , we received first class , courteous service. We will definitely return. Thank you very much All at The CrabtreeMore

I had heard good things about the Crabtree but until now had not experienced the restaurant itself. Booking was easy. On arrival we were shown to an excellent table in a fairly small but interesting room which looked out on a mass of greenery. The...lady who lead us to our table was very welcoming and throughout the meal was quietly efficient and solicitous as to our enjoyment of the food. The menu was interesting and whilst my companion had the crispy calamari I thoroughly enjoyed the smoked salmon starter. We both had a glass of excellent Malbec and had I not been driving I would have gone for a bottle. Whilst my friend enjoyed the creamy mushroom pasta I was more than happy with the gammon, hen eggs and truly wonderful chips. This meal was very satisfying with good sized portions. Service was excellent. The atmosphere was cosy. We ended with an excellent locally sourced cheese board and good coffee. The meal for two was very reasonably priced. It lived up to its reputation and I will look forward to revisiting. Hopefully I can source some public transport or find a cab so that I could enjoy more of their excellent and beautifully kept wine.More

Terrible service. Food sent back because it was cold. Empty glasses left on table throughout meal. Several requests for water. Hot side dishes from oven left on table without giving out so friends had to get up with napkins to get them. Will not be...returningMore

Really nice lunch here, good quality food and staff were really friendly and attentive. Will definitely be coming back soon. Thank you!

Called into the Crabtree on the off chance and although the restaurant was quite busy they found a table for us. Food and service were first class so we’ll be back soon.

As has been noted elsewhere, they do a great deal to promote their mention in Michelin 2021 but that’s all it was, not a “bib gourmand” and certainly NOT a Star and it hasn’t been continued this year and for good reason. Half the staff...are happy and the others make you feel as you are doing them a service by being there. The food can be good but there can be breakdown in the reasons why “stuff” is put on the plates…and I suspect the chef smokes as the food is over seasoned…or has front of house forgotten to tell the kitchen that they put cruets on the tables? Several staff will come to the table but there’s no communication between them so no-one knows what’s going on. Food wasn’t bad….just not as good as they think it is and the wine/drinks prices reflect their inflated view of themselves. In need of management……More

We have been here several times over years for dinner and lunch. Until now it has always been good, not cheap, but good. We took friends there Friday evening for dinner, thinking it would be a good choice, based on past experiences. It was not!...I'm being generous when I say the food was barely average! For the price there are much better places to eat in the area and probably won't be back to the Crabtree in the future. You need to ignore the Michelin guide because it is clearly nowhere near that standard.More

We couldn’t be bothered to cook tonight and had heard good things about the Crabtree so we decided to go and try it. I’m coeliac so was pleased to see a few things GF on the menu. The staff were friendly but the food was...fairly average. We had the chicken supreme. The gravy was like bisto. Nothing wrong with bisto, but I expected more from a gastro pub. It was very salty and synthetic. It could also have done with some green veg. I wished we’d stayed in tbh as it was £21 each for mediocre chicken and mash. Won’t be going back.More

Just as others have noted, menu on here is NOT priced as the one given us in the pub. Twice as expensive in fact on arrival. Lackadaisical service yet three ladies to serve and us the only party in. Nice regards disabled people in our...party, which I appreciate. But... Drink request ignored and told "it's here", on chasing fifteen minutes after ordering it. Which meant it was on a print out sitting on the bar! 😂 Not poured. Men's toilet stank. Door to same made me feel ill, at least paint over the filthy dirty state of it! Please. Food was excellent. Bill was over charged but my aunt had enough at that stage. Yep - we did forego desserts based on the forty five minutes to serve four mains from order. Life is too short to eat with yourselves sadly. The chef is wasted.More

We stopped for a Light lunch on the way back from Gatwick. The Food was OK ish ,Charcuterie was thick chunks of Italian sausage and some other meat I didn't recognise, salad so so. beer £7 a pint !!! twice the local average. Service was...very slow the waitress had no apparent backupMore

My friends and I had a great time here this weekend. The food was excellent and Freya who served us was so helpful and professional that she really made our night. Well done Freya and the team, we will definitely be back!
